The General Population of Prudence’s Penitentiary has been released for the better part of a year now. Mostly integrated back into society, what remains in the drafty halls of Killhouse are only the worst criminals the San Saba’s best can hold at bay.
Rather than commit them to the Mortis, the Lifers are kept pinned in for the majority of the year behind ironclad bars and muscular Justices tasked with their imprisonment. Once a year, for 24 hours, the Lifers are let loose upon the San Saba both as an expression of the Hedon’s Holy Virtues but also to remind its citizens what Tabitha St. Mercy guards us from.
This year, the Indulgence coincides with the State Fair, a wholly different event from a different era. Now, at the intersection between corndogs and killers, cotton candy and carnage - the Killhouse Punishers and several other Dogshead teams from across the San Saba will compete in a no-holds-barred tournament where illegality is suspended, but the victory is not. Will the Vados take the gold themselves, or will they be crushed under the orange-clad, biologically enhanced, heel of Big Tex and his 6 Best Men?
